Chitetezo comprises a series of rights-based, arts-mediated activities led by trained youth peer facilitators to empower young people to understand issues of road safety and to advocate for road safety infrastructure improvements in their local environment.
It is founded on evidence from three previously unconnected areas: rights-based youth work, road safety education, and intergenerational approaches to co-producing local development. There are good theoretical grounds for taking an intergenerational approach to learning and education in the co-production of community-based solutions. The research seeks to draw on young people’s own expertise to co-produce solutions to road safety.
Thanks to the Scottish Parliament Cross Party Group on Malawi for providing the opportunity to raise awareness about the challenges of road traffic collisions in Malawi.
This research is jointly funded by the UK Medical Research Council (MRC) and the Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) under the MRC/FCDO Concordat agreement, together with the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC)
